Abstract
An electronic device and a method of providing a notification on a wireless charging state in an electronic device are provided. The method includes wirelessly charging the electronic device by using power received from an external device; checking a state of the wireless charging; when the state of the wireless charging corresponds to a certain condition, determining whether the electronic device is used by a user by using at least one sensor; and providing a notification based on whether the electronic device is used by the user.
Claims20
An electronic device for supporting wireless charging, the electronic device comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to detect whether the electronic device is used by a user;
- a wireless charging module configured to charge the electronic device by using power obtained from an external device;
- and
- a processor functionally connected to the at least one sensor and the wireless charging module,
- wherein the processor is configured to check charging state information of the wireless charging module, determine whether the electronic device is used by the user by using the at least one sensor when the charging state information corresponds to a certain condition, and provide a notification based on whether the electronic device is used by the user.
A method of providing a notification on a wireless charging state in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- wirelessly charging the electronic device by using power received from an external device;
- checking a state of the wireless charging;
- when the state of the wireless charging corresponds to a certain condition, determining whether the electronic device is used by a user by using at least one sensor;
